Lyrics
Another day goes by, and I again survive.
But have I done a thing, and will I dare come clean?
What does He ask me for, how can I show him more...
Of what I really feel, 'bout what He has revealed.
For He died for you & me, when He died ON THE CROSS.............................
I never take the time, to thank Him for the time.
Why do I turn away, when I just want to stay?
He's always there for me, even when I do not see...
That He has love to give, & He gave me life to live.
He gave it all for me, when He died ON THE CROSS.....................................
He died for you & me, when He died ON THE CROSS...................................
When He looks down on me, while perched upon that tree,
Will He say He is pleased, will He be proud of me?
Have I glorified His name, or is it all the same...
Have I lost sight of Him, or will I let Him win?
For He paid the price for me, when He died ON THE CROSS...........................
He did the work for me, so that I could be free.
Not the end that I deserve, not the wages that I earned.
He took my place in line, He satisfied the fine...
Now He runs my life for me, He is my Lord you see?
He gave it up for me, when He died ON THE CROSS?????????..
He died for you & me, when He died ON THE CROSS...................................
He died for you & me, when He died ON THE CROSS (End)
